New to the forum and new to the Wrangler. Had a cherokee(Xj) years ago. Just picked up a 2018 Wrangler sport in rhino. Named her Jolene, so far pretty happy with her. Have wanted a Wrangler for a long time. Will be a slow build, but first plans would be to build a bumper for it, trailer hitch and then go from there. Looking forward to exploring with my wife and dogs in the Jeep.

Great looking JKU, and should make for a great start for a project. The question is, are you going to go mild or wild? ;)

Update to “project apocalypse “
Got the wheels painted, removed the rear bumper with plans to build one. Got a free OEM front bumper and decided I’d make do with fabricating some additions to the OEM stock steel for the time being. Ordered rough country seat covers, as well as a sunshade top.

I have had my OEM AL 17 rims in my basement for the last 7yrs. I want to paint them black and outfit them with a good ALL Weather Tire for next winter. Did you paint your rims yourself and with what? There have been posts about this, but I can not find them (lazy). Currently I have steel wheels with Wrangler Territories that I clean up every year and Tremclad them with flat black. Cosmetics is not my forte. LOL

I did paint them myself. I used hi temp engine paint actually just because it’s a bit tougher then regular paint. I thoroughly cleaned them with brake clean prior to painting.
 
I have this high temp flat black paint for my wood stove ( yes it is -16C,2F outside). And I have a lot of brakes part cleaner. But the Law came down hard on me today. No F-ing way you are doing the rims in the basement she said, wait till the spring and haul them outside. Sucks.

Hey, I'm right down 64 in Nashville. What's the story on the GTO?
